The question arose about whether or not there were any US fusion bombs
dropped from aircraft for testing purposes.


The earliest fusion weapon drop I found, the Cherokee test, in May 1956,
was a 3.8 megaton bomb dropped by a B-52.


The tests in Operation Dominic featured a number of airdropped fusion
devices. A number of these were tests of the warheads for the Minuteman
missile.


A good source for nuke tests is:

Thanks, Chad; I'll check the site out. And thanks for the above data.
